Am Thai Bistro Opens Friday

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

Church Avenue’s new Thai restaurant, Am Thai Bistro, is having its grand opening celebration this Friday, January 27. Stop by 1003 Church Ave near East 10th Street to give alms to the monks at 10:30am, and then head back between 6pm and midnight for an evening celebration.

If you’ve passed by the space recently, you can see how fast it’s coming along, as you can see in the photo to the left that neighbor Meema took over the weekend. You can also sneak a peek at the interior in a series of photos on their Facebook page.

As you know, this is the second location from the same people at Am Thai Kitchen on McDonald Ave in Kensington, so you can expect much of the same menu, though the Bistro will feature some Caribbean fusion dishes, such as “roti massaman,” or grilled roti served with chicken in massasman curry.

Nummy and Amy from Am Thai (pictured to the right with me and Melissa Skolnick from the Church Ave BID) have been popping up everywhere to announce the opening, so if you haven’t met them yet, you will soon. Most recently they visited the Uncover Church Avenue art show opening at the Flatbush Library (the show, by the way, runs through February 24), supplying guests with a spread of appetizers. They’re very excited to be a part of the community, so be sure to stop by and give them a warm welcome.

    Man, even Cortelyou doesn’t have a Thai restaurant!  Looks like little brother Church Ave is coming out ahead, for once.

    Yay I’m so excited about this opening! I’ve been eating from Am Thai for years. Their rice ginger soup has helped me nurse many a cold. Congrats to the Am Thai team for the expansion!

    Actually, that Roti Massaman dish is already on their menu at their other location. And it’s delicious :)

    you know you’ve really arrived in a neighborhood when yr local take-out proprietor calls out “drunken chicken extra spicy” at you down the block to entice you into viewing the new establishment (which looks really nice, by the way!) – clearly I need to change up my order.

    Are we dreaming?!! And one of the proprietors is named “Nummy”–a combination of “nom nom nom” and “yummy”…oh my!
